Right now, Pettigrew has the same catch rate (50%) as Tony Gonzalez, Kyle Rudolph, Jared Cook and Fred Davis. Forum consensus: I just listed a bunch of worthless receivers.

Or, here are some more stats: right now, the Detroit Lions' run-blocking ranks 12th running off of left end, and 2nd running off of right end, the two areas that are most impacted by tight end blocking. Our most impressive run stat is off of left tackle, where we rank 1st in the NFL. (Reiff is a beast.) Lastly, Brandon Pettigrew had 2 penalties all last season.

"The tight ends, there's always going to be contact, and a lot of those balls, there was contact," coach Jim Schwartz said.

There's a difference between getting hit by a linebacker immediately after the ball arrives, and just catching a pass off a slant route. A big difference. Of course, PFF didn't say it, so..._________________Team Stylish

Worthless. Cut outright. Liability. Yes, I call those exaggerations.

Once again, it's funny that you call PFF's rankings poor because of lack of context, then give credit to Pettigrew for our tackles blocking when he may or may not have been there to help, or maybe our running backs made a play in spite of his blocking, or any number of things that could have happened.

Liability is not an exaggeration at all. Liability is a perfect way to describe Pettigrew._________________

Of course other things could have happened. Hasn't that been my point all along? That stats without context are useless? PFF is even worse in that regard because they actually add opinion into the equation and try to rank the players.

I have given my opinion time and time again. You asked for stats. I posted stats. Now you're pointing out that stats alone lack context? Why did you ask for stats if you were just going to dismiss them? Why didn't you see that you just argued what I've been saying for pages?_________________Team Stylish
